Our new precious

Posted on October 22, 2008 by bipolarlawyercook| 11 Comments

Our lap­top has been kaput.  Stone dead.  Not rest­ing.  Demised, bereft of life, off the twig, shuf­fled off the techno coil, kicked the bucket, and joined the choir elec­tronic.  Our lap­top is no more.  It has ceased to be.  It has expired, and gone to meet its maker.  It is push­ing up the techno-daisies.  Dead.  D-e-a-d.  In all, it is an ex-laptop.  After eight years, no RAM mem­ory left, and three power adapters, it became sense­less to try to order a fourth adapter, a bat­tery, and more mem­ory– all things we’d need before we could con­tinue this blog­ging and writ­ing and pho­tograph­ing obses­sion.  Instead, we’ve been using the BH’s almost equally obso­lete iMac desk­top.  The hor­ror, peo­ple, we tell you, the hor­ror.  Shar­ing a com­puter– a Mac­in­tosh, even.  (J/K, I have noth­ing against Macs, I just pre­fer PCs).  Not hav­ing 24 hour access to wi-fi and news and blogs.  We think it’s the rea­son for our recent depres­sion, yes, pre­cious, we do.  (Right.  Eas­ier to blame it on that than self-care, right?)

Any­way.  We’d like to intro­duce you to our new, shiny, 13.3 inch, 4 pound new bun­dle of joy.  We haven’t named it yet, but we’re tak­ing sug­ges­tions.  “Our pre­cious?”  Fine for the first post, but a lit­tle creepy there­after. As Mobutu in Zoolan­der said, “It’s BEAUTIFUL.”

    By the way, I meant “con­Grat­u­la­tions,” not “con­rat­u­la­tions.” Curse th9s one-handed typing.=!
